The Washington Post interviews UB expert about new archaeological evidence on Roman Empire

Tina Thurston, associate professor of anthropology, is quoted in
an article in The Washington Post about new archaeological
evidence suggesting how aggressive, brutal and well-organized the
battles were between soldiers from the young Roman Empire and the
equally aggressive inhabitants of Germania. “We’ve read
about these mass sacrifices, but this is the first time anything
like this has ever been found,” she said. “Were they
captives, saved for sacrifice, or did they die in battle, or were
they executed? Were some sold into slavery, burned, set free? Maybe
in this case everyone was simply rounded up and
killed.”
